very basic rebuy question

EvilSteve · #1 11-20-2007, 11:42 AM

I was playing a $10+1 rebuys + add-on tournament on pstars last night, and I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. Do they only take the $1 rake on your initial buyin, and then the full $10 you pay for each rebuy, add-on goes into the prize pool? Because if so I plan on playing a lot more of those, such a better deal than regular tourneys.

You are correct

Sweet. Just seemed too good to be true. Or I guess the other way to look at it is I'm used to being ripped off paying 10% rake on regular tourneys.

Eh 10% is standard not really a ripoff. Now the 5+1 SNGs on Party, however...

And live tourneys usually rake more than 10 percent.

Live tourneys have to pay for a dealer for every table... I don't believe you can compare live to online...

It may not be a rip-off, but it's certainly a better deal to only pay $1 rake every time on a tournament I probably average $50+ in buyins.

I've always assumed this reason is why the 109r is so popular among the HSMTT regulars.
